Question 1

Conclusions

Answer 1

One conclusion that can be drawn about (PROMPT 1) is…STATE YOUR CONCLUSION… this is supported by source A/B/C which states…QUOTE FROM SOURCE…
And source A/B/C which states…QUOTE FROM SOURCE…
And source A/B/C which states…QUOTE FROM SOURCE…
therefore, it is clear that…RESTATE THE CONCLUSION IN DIFFERENT FORMAT
(3 MARKS)

One conclusion that can be drawn about (PROMPT 2) is…STATE YOUR CONCLUSION… this is supported by source A/B/C which states…QUOTE FROM SOURCE…
And source A/B/C which states…QUOTE FROM SOURCE…
And source A/B/C which states…QUOTE FROM SOURCE…
therefore, it is clear that…RESTATE THE CONCLUSION IN DIFFERENT FORMAT
(3 MARKS)

One conclusion that can be drawn about (PROMPT 3) is…STATE YOUR CONCLUSION… this is supported by source A/B/C which states…QUOTE FROM SOURCE…
And source A/B/C which states…QUOTE FROM SOURCE…
And source A/B/C which states…QUOTE FROM SOURCE…
therefore, it is clear that…RESTATE THE CONCLUSION IN DIFFERENT FORMAT
(3 MARKS)

An overall conclusion that can be drawn about…OVERALL PROMPT…is…STATE YOUR OVERALL CONCLUSION.
This is supported by SOURCE A/B/C which states…QUOTE FROM SOURCE…And SOURCE A/B/C which states…QUOTE FROM SOURCE.

Question 2

Objectivity

Answer 2

It is accurate to state that [REFLECT THE WORDING OF THE QUESTION] because … [provide gist of your overall argument here accrued from the quotes you aim to use below]
This is confirmed in Source A which states ‘________________________________’.
Likewise, Source C says ‘______________________________________________’.
Lastly, Source C comments that while ________________________________.
Therefore, it is accurate to state that that [QUESTION]… BECAUSE… [PROVIDE AN OVERALL INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THE 3 SOURCES ABOVE SAY ABOUT THE ACCURACY OF THE STATEMENT. COMBINE POINTS TO MAKE OVERALL JUDGEMENT ON ACURACY]

It is inaccurate to state that [REFLECT THE WORDING OF THE QUESTION]
because… [provide first point of argument based on your selection
quotes/evidence you aim to use below]:
Source A mentions‘___________________________________________________’.
Likewise, Source A also says ‘__________________________________________’.
Lastly, Source B provides detail of_______________________________________.
Therefore, it is inaccurate to state that that [QUESTION]… BECAUSE…
[PROVIDE AN OVERALL JUDGEMENT OF WHAT THE 2/3 SOURCE
QUOTES/POINTS ABOVE SAY ABOUT THE INACCURACY OF THE STATEMENT
BASED ON YOUR FIRST POINT OF ARGUMENT.

It is inaccurate to state that [REFLECT THE WORDING OF THE QUESTION]
because… [provide second point of argument based on your selection
quotes/evidence you aim to use below]:
Source A mentions‘___________________________________________________’.
Likewise, Source A also says ‘__________________________________________’.
Lastly, Source B provides detail of_______________________________________.
Therefore, it is inaccurate to state that that [QUESTION]… BECAUSE…
[PROVIDE AN OVERALL JUDGEMENT OF WHAT THE 2/3 SOURCE
QUOTES/POINTS ABOVE SAY ABOUT THE INACCURACY OF THE STATEMENT
BASED ON YOUR SECOND POINT OF ARGUMENT.

PROVIDE 2 NEW PIECES OF EVIDENCE
Overall, the statement (which is stated ion full) is [not] completely accurate, as ….
[PROVIDE BRIEF GIST OF ARGUMENT YOU HAVE CHOSEN].
Indeed, in Source B, it shows ……………………………………………………..
Further, Source A tells us that ‘……………………………………………..’; this is
telling us that …………………. .

Question 3

Reliability

Answer 3

Source A is reliable, albeit to a certain extent.
[Reliability +]
The source offers clear robust evidence and therefore reliability in that___________
___________________________________________________________________
[Reliability -]
However, Bias could prove to be a problem in Source A, given that
_______________________________________________ i[extract points and
views which evidence potential reliability…..].
Therefore, the reliability of Source A is ____________[overall gist reinforcing 1st
sentence judgement]_________________________________________________

Source B is much less reliable…
[Reliability +]
Despite this, the source offers ___________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
[Reliability -]
However, ___________could prove to be a problem in this source, given that
_______________________________________________ i[extract points and
views which evidence potential reliability…..].
Therefore, Source is least reliable because ____________[overall gist]
________________________________________________________

Source C is the most reliable…..
[Reliability +]
The source offers clear robust evidence and therefore reliability in that___________
___________________________________________________________________
[Reliability -/+]
However, _________ could prove to be a problem in Source C, given that
_______________________________________________ i[extract points and
views which evidence/affect potential reliability…..].
Therefore, the reliability of Source A is ____________[overall gist reinforcing 1st
sentence judgement]_________________________________________________

Overall therefore, Source C is the most reliable source because_____________
• Take a new theme or an aspect of the source not previously mentioned and
explain why this makes it most reliable.
• Make TWO points justifying your judgement.
